MY EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINING

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Juniata College with a double major in International Relations and Theater. I practiced applied arts and theater for social change work in various community settings from 2009 to 2015 before receiving my Master of Social Work with a certificate in Applied Arts and Social Justice from the University of New England in 2016. I have worked as a process facilitator of restorative justice and as a clinician in residential treatment programs with adults struggling with co-occurring mental illnesses and houselessness, residential treatment programs with teens struggling with complex trauma and neurodivergence, and in outpatient therapy settings. I am passionate about creating a space that is nurturing through compassion, humor, and collaboration.
